Power Apps Data Types

  • Power Apps service can only protect standard Canvas apps which have been published and component libraries. Note that the Restore action is unsupported and the backup data can only be exported.

  • To use Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 to protect the Power Apps data, you must configure an app profile for the Microsoft Delegated app. For the list of the required permissions added to the Delegated app for Power Apps, refer to the Required Permissions of Microsoft Delegated App. If you have been using a scan profile with service account authentication for Power Platform object types, the Auto discovery scan jobs and the Cloud Backup jobs can continue using the service account authentication.

  • If you use service account authentication or the Delegated app to protect the Power Apps data, the service account or the authentication user of the Delegated app must be the Global Administrator and the Environment Admin/System Administrator, and have the Power Apps for Microsoft 365 license to proceed.

  • The backup job will automatically add the service account or the authentication user of the Delegated app as the app’s co-owner and flow owner (if the app has an associated flow).

● *Note: The data center operated by 21Vianet in China do not support component libraries, so the backup service for component libraries in such data centers is not supported as well.
